In 2003 I found a little utility which allowed me to select a control (like a listview) on any application, and it would copy it's contents into the clipboard.
For example, you could select the list in Windows Explorer, and all the filenames, sizes, dates, etc. would be copied for you to paste into Notepad.
I don't remember the name of it, but I do remember the name was so unrelated that I could never find it when I needed it. So now, years later, I can't find it.
Does anybody know of any utilities which might do this? Or possibly even the utility I'm talking about?

AutoIt has this ability, to some degree anyway. It can pull this information from any standard win32 application, but has limited success with other graphical libraries. To specifically get the text of a control, you would use ControlGetText(). It isn't a full solution, as you would have to construct much of it yourself, but it is a push in the right direction if you're willing to script it out. – MaQleod – 2011-10-17T21:59:51.327
@Ramhound Don't take that "rule" too seriously please. Many questions are based on real issues and can be easily made constructive. Product suggestions are – for example – considered off topic when it's clear that there's lack of research effort or a plethora of tools available already. – slhck – 2012-09-18T14:56:47.440
